I was initially told I didn't need to shield, "just be very careful". Then six weeks in I got the dreaded three page letter, do not leave your house, do not put your bins out, do not share your bedroom, eat your meals separately etc.
I had been following the shielding advice since mid March, other than, I'd been walking my dogs every morning, in a quiet area, early. I had seen my adult children from over the 2 metre distance in my back garden, on Mother's Day and on my Birthday.
I decided to continue this way of life and have done so. I don't intend to change much. The virus hasn't changed, it still poses a significant threat to me, as the dreaded letter makes frighteningly clear
I wanted to support this government because I feel we need to pull together but - the mismanagement and dishonesty convinces me that the sudden freeing up for the clinically vulnerable is based on reasons other than our safety.
Lasr two letters continued Jan 24
Bought the wrong Hot Cross Buns 😩
In light of our current weather.......
